The business side is often neglected, but it’s the business side that will truly take our creatives ‘To The Top,’” continued Donkor. Other renowned speakers at the seminar include Godwin Tom, General Manager of Sony Music Publishing West Africa, TV Personality and

Actress Joselyn Dumas, Richardine Bartee; a New York based writer and publicist, Derrydean Dadzie; CEO of Heritors Lab and
